PT Belt New Vehicle Pin Stripe? Cant make this stuff up.

2014-07-28T14:18:44-04:00

I saw this today on the Fort Jackson Lemon Lot and I had to share. Side note, what on earth kind of vehicle is this? But yes that is a PT belt strapped to the back.

That is, indeed, awesome! But shouldn't the belt(s) be wrapped around the ENTIRE vehicle?!
Oh.. and I have no idea what kind of vehicle this is, but holding my head sideways to try to figure it out is giving me a headache! LOL! Guess it's time to flip the monitor! LOL!

It appears that the truck is a three wheeled vehicle. Perhaps the PT belt makes the whole vehicle safer to operate. Maybe insurance companies should grant discounts for the all mighty PT belt.

There pretty awesome in my book, i wanted to get one but my wife said no ):

The WF650-T has a 650cc Hi-Po liquid cooled engine, with a four speed manual transmission with reverse.

With up to 60 miles per gallon fuel efficiency and a Top speed of 65 mph, this is a great vehicle to beat high gas prices.

Also comes with a CDI ignition, and a 2 year or 24,000 mile warranty on the engine and transmission.

The WF650T is one foot longer the the Smart Fortwo Passion but weighs 1000 lbs less. It is licensed as a motorcycle

It's a very old Dautson truck I think. I guess that would work if the tail lights were inop.

Another comment describes what kind and make of the vehicle is, but it does state (and includes reference) that it is a 3-wheeled vehicle, and is licensed as a motorcycle. Therefore, all post requirements that apply to a standard motorcycle would apply, to include reflective material.

This whole PT belt thing is ridiculous. We never used them when I was in because they simply didn't exist. Now it seems you can't do anything without a PT belt on you somewhere.

If you can't figure out how to survive without a PT belt, you have big problems.
